    The reason for the change of the payments is that I have been having problems with my business due to the change of address. I even dig deep in my pocket in order to pay for the house rent.

    Hello my lenders.kindly let me first of all apologise for the delay and not making my payments at the right time as agreed.This is because i was in a total distress after my shop was dislocated without any notice which took a period of time to recover from the loss and pick up myself again to start a fresh.This has made everything to turn around in a bad way.i thank for your patience with me and i wish to inform you that i have relocated my business not far from where i was and i hope within a one week period from now i will be able to catch up with my normal schedule with you.i am so sorry for the inconveniences i might have caused due to my delays.thanks.best wishes.
